Cuz it's more profitable to be a young adult kindergarten for trust fund darlings.

>>2531956
They do, you just haven't been to art school.

Stop tensing up your hand and arm, stop the death grip, draw loosely and comfortably. Don't 'force' accuracy. Accuracy comes with practice. If you try to draw comfortably and your lines become wobbly, you have to practice drawing like that. Don't hold the pencil so lightly it's going to fall out of your hand, but don't force your arm to do things it's not comfortable doing. This will make the tension intuitive and habitual, something you don't want.

Don't draw too small for long periods of time. Ideal studying is done on a large 18x24 or so pad on a board angled in front of you, with your hand resting on paper to relieve the weight from your shoulder. The majority of drawing uses the entire arm and the wrist is only needed for the odd detail from time to time, instead of the entire drawing.

In music you are taught to practice slowly and comfortably, so that when you are familiar enough to play a piece fast, it has the appearance of being effortless. The same should be true in art. You want to learn to draw in a way that when you progress you are both comfortable and precise.

Do the Peter Han exercises as a warm up before you do serious work, and focus exclusively on proper form. Make sure this is consistent and daily.

Not op, but thank you for taking your time to write this, especially the part about accuracy. I'll keep this in mind when I draw.

Stretch, you dumb cunt.

Oh shit, I hope mine comes today but I doubt it

>tfw they made a statue out of fucking "Soldier 76" instead of literally any of the other far more iconic characters like the Buddhist robot or the girls with cute butts

What the shit, man.

To be fair, he was the leader of the Overwatch team and Tracer already has a statue I think.

It's done in a Moleskine sketchbook

>>2532611
Are you sure it's not mixed pencil + charcoal? Those thick dark lines look charcoalish to me.

>>2532611
Try and draw it on computer paper with a number 2 pencil. Superficial artists masturbating over art supplies. If you suck, a nice peice of paper and pencil won't help.

>flockdraw
>share a board with a bunch of trolls and benchwarmers that just watch and don't even draw
Ill pass and go to pixivchat or something where people actually want to draw

>>2537537
Your flockdraw room is dead.

Spoiler alert: You will get 2 types of reponses:

>Everything is art and everyone is a special snowflake

>Art requires skill, effort and creativity


Honestly, who cares. Take a good look at any modern art museum, it doesn't really matter anymore and it really doesn't mean anything to be an 'artist' or create 'artwork' anymore. It's fine though, because hard work still pays off.

The first thing that comes to my mind when I hear 'art' is just people talking about art and trying to be really philosophical, useless mumbo jumbo like my post. We hear so many discussion about art itself or complicated art concepts, political and social issues in art, but no one is talking about practice, growth as an artist, mentorship, mastery and technique. Yeah I know, 'muh style, muh creativity, muh messsage' and the people putting in work are just 'mindless machines who don't get it'.

tl;dr: Art is vanity. Everyone loves to talk about it and pretend to be interested in it just to look smart. Anyone trying to clearly define it will trigger bunch of people claiming it's the opposite.

worthless self-entertainment

>>2535490
So is talent real or did those faggots just work way harder than I did?

It's pointilism by the way

>>2535351
it's not

Are you a furry by chance? they have a weird fascination with this movie.

Dude, just pick something in front of you and try to draw it for a start.

>>2529474
I don't know what the fuck that is.

Do some still life.

>>2538021

>>2538021
uninstall skype

or don't, idrc less competition

>>2538021
You need to remove the people you don't want to talk to and only reply to the messages that need a response. If you get a lot of the same questions asked over and over create an FAQ.

Keep your real life separate from your work life and learn to skim+prioritize

that particular one is a good read anon, Lovecraft shadow out of time is one of my favorites .

I hope it does.

>>2536971
Probably, but it would be done with a wink and a nod. Really the only way it could come back is if it was intentionally ironic.

>>2536902
Learn and do the fundamentals with mouse. Drawabox lesson 1 is good for learning how to control a mouse precisely. It takes longer than your pencil, but hey, why not.

>>2536906
drawabox looks cool, checking it out atm. thanks famillia

>>2536902
Play Mario paint. That's how I learned.

maybe the quality of your work is really shit?

>>2536564

I think it's more obvious in this picture.

>>2535418
Can't tell that it was originally a black and white piece but it just seems like a waste of time to paint it black and white just to repaint it with color desu

Draw more and stop making shit threads.

>>2537765
Draw it more until you remember. Understand instead of just copying.

>>2537765
Gesture drawing is kind of my only talent, so here I go.
When you do gesture drawing, you should care less about form/contour and more about the rhythm of the body. That means that you shouldn't draw the joints, and rather, draw /slight/ noodle arms and legs, where they bend at a natural curve. As for memorization, all I can say is pay more attention. It's all about internalizing the image, rather than just copying it. I'll draw some and annotate it for you, gimme a sec.
